Focusing on the Vine (Part II)

So Sarah wanted me to read Basil the Branch to her again tonight before going to bed. Listed at the end of the book, along with the verse where Jesus says that He is the vine and we are the branches, is Galatians 5:22-23 about the fruits of the Spirit.

As I looked at the verse, I was reminded that patience is a fruit of the Spirit. That as I rest in God, through His Holy Spirit He will produce patience in me. I don't need to keep striving to do it myself, instead I need to focus on Jesus my vine and keep growing in Him.
